Agree - thank you again Coach Stump for you have done for wrestling. What worries me is that if the WVSSAC won't listen to Coach Stump, then we may not have much of a chance ( unless a high majority of the small schools work together) then the 3 classes could be a possibility. Coach Stump, what do y...

what about region 6 from 2 weeks ago?

Is it a little odd that none of the results or seeding for any of the new regionals have been posted? Is it a secret? The results of WV Jr States are up almost as soon as they finish.
Just not sure why we havent seen the region 6 results or any seeding info.

Good points Gator!!

I was beginning to wander if any other small schools were gong to speak up - Thank you!! By next years regional map from this website - there are 28 single A schools participating in wrestling, 29 AAA schools and 38 AA schools. Divide them up!!! No way we go to one class and how can we have 66 schoo...

Was the date deliberately placed on the 1st weekend of march? Is it fair to say everyone involved in youth wrestling knows that has been the date Jr States has been held for years. Its been public knowledge that tons of kids want to attend both - but cant ( while others can) while 1 region gets to (...

The idea excites me and I think other small schools. As being form a school that has dropped form AA to A next year - I really like the idea of dividing into 3 classes - I think it would spark interest from the smaller schools and make each championship interesting ( team race ) With time I really b...

Will the updated schedule for Jr States be posted soon?

Agree - That response shows the amount of class that poster has. Best of luck to all that compete at both WV Jr States and the WVYWA.

I have no idea which schools have wrestling ( unless the regional list is updated )
Would someone please list the schools with wrestling programs by class?
AAA, AA, and A

The wvssac should go to 4 classes. For wrestling have a AA/AAA state championship and a A/AA state championship. The tourney would operate the same way ( 2 classes ) but the 2 classes would be more evenly distributed. The bigger AA's would go up and the smaller AA's would go down. Then of course the...

Don't you all get it, There are a lot of people that want to do both. The WVYWA will benefit by having more wrestlers form across the state. As will Jr States. Maybe the WVYWA is the future and will be great. But, Its the 1st year. Let wrestlers go to both this year and then they can pick next year....

I dont have anything bad to say about he new WVYWA - but if it is as professional as advertised then ALL of the regionals should be on the same date. As for Jr States - I dont have anything bad to say about them either, 38 years i believe, a lot of very good wrestlers went through Jr. States. Its an...

How is that fair? All regionals should be on the same date, and hopefully that date is the same as the Wood County regionals. This would allow ALL wrestlers to participate in both tournaments. If what you are stating is correct then only a select number of teams will able to do both.

Ok, will you please share that information when you find it out?
Thank you!

Area 1,2, and 3 have all set the regional date for March 5th according to the website.
Is it safe to assume that areas 4,5 and 6 will be on the same date?

102 Best is at the top, others that looked good are casuccio, morris, layman, and irizarry

So.... this year can a wrestler participate in both Parkersburg Junior States and the WVYWA championships as well? ( i hope yes )


If so then I believe both competitions have the potential to be quality tournaments.

I would like be involved with both, but that does not sound like a possibility. That is a shame -surely the conflicting dates can be fixed - both organizations would benefit financially from resolving the conflict. Also, think about our youth, do it for them. It may seem like someone swallowing thei...

Wow, with the number of A and AA teams is it time to go to 3 classes? How many of the single A schools in the new classification have wrestling? Is there enough to warrant expanding to 3 classes? I have to believe that would spark interest and growth in the smaller schools. AA will have solid compet...
